5 PROMISE Technology Setup FileCruiser Follow the procedure using the Setup Wizard to create basic configuration, or, use the Setup Wizard for Time Zone setting, then you can continue to configure FileCruiser using the normal administrator portal menus. However, it is highly recommended for most users to first setup FileCruiser with the Setup Wizard. If you want to skip any of the steps except Step 1 (Time Zone) in the Setup Wizard, follow the instructions in Basic configuration without the Setup Wizard on page 9 for the steps you skipped in the Setup Wizard. Before you can use either procedure, you need to get the IP address of the server. Read Get IP address on the next so you can first login to the Administration portal. Get IP address The FileCruiser VA2600 uses DHCP by default to obtain IP Settings. If you have not already done so, you need to connect a keyboard and monitor to the server. Use any USB port to connect a keyboard. Use the VGA port to connect a monitor. After the server is fully booted up, a Linux login prompt appears. Login as local account. The default login user name is promise and the default login password is filecruiser@pr0mise (note that the 0 is the numeric character zero). See example below. login: promise Password: filecruiser@pr0mise Now use the Linux command ifconfig (after the # prompt) to get the IP settings. eth0 promise@promise:~#ifconfig Link encap:ethernet HWaddr 00:26:b9:7e:54:3c inet addr: Bcast: Look for inet addr: in the text listed to get the IP address.
